Just me and this little firecracker hiking today. She has been asking me for weeks when we would hike ? next and I told her we had to wait for it to cool off some and today we had mid-70s again! I love hiking with K because I feel like we connect so well when we’re in nature ? together. She notices everything and it helps me notice everything too. Every bug, every animal, every spiderweb… things I would have passed by without even noticing. And her slower pace forces me to slow down and appreciate all the sounds and smells of nature. Today the vegetation smelled a little sweet but also earthy and we could smell the salt of the ocean too. It makes me feel like we’re the only two people in the world and sometimes we need that. I think Jason enjoys the time to bond with Isabelle too. He’s working when K is at school so he doesn’t get that much time alone with Belles. Thinking of maybe doing a family hike tomorrow if the weather permits ?
